On October 6th, Roatan Bruce celebrated seven years on Roatan Media!

Roatan Bruce has been the English speaking voice for the Bay Islands since 2003.

His show has been the main source of important, timely information for islanders, residents and tourists. He has interviewed over 400 of the "Who's Who" of The Bay Islands and Honduras including four Presidents of Honduras, Congressmen, Mayors, Governors and many of the top business and community leaders.

He has left radio to turn his attention to producing the regions first English speaking, original television programming. His shows will continue to inform, concern, educate and entertain people from around the Bay Islands.

His “Official, Un Official Roatan Bruce Bruce Weather Report” and his many world-wide appearances on The Weather Channel has given him the opportunity to be the reporter to announce previously unavailable storm warnings and aftermath damage to residents of the island and to people around the world.

Bruce turned to radio and television starting in 1990 to promote a professional speaking career as well as the careers and businesses of hundreds of other companies. The number of interviews on radio and television with well-known celebrities, authors and athletes is available upon request.

He has been in radio and television both as a producer and host in areas such as Los Angeles, South Florida, New England and Arizona.  Since October 2003, the Western Caribbean has been the home of The Roatan Bruce Show, the only English speaking non-religious talk radio programming. 

Just some of his hundreds of interviews can be heard down below.

He has been a columnist in The Honduras This Week, the only English speaking weekly newspaper in Honduras.  Go to hondurasthisweek.com to see his columns online.  Go to hondurasthisweek.com to see his columns online.

World Bank Restores Development Aid to Honduras
Wed Feb 10, 2010 9:49pm EST


TEGUCIGALPA, Feb 10 (Reuters) - The World Bank said on Wednesday it is restoring development aid to Honduras that it had frozen after a coup toppled President Manuel Zelaya.

World Bank Managing Director Juan Jose Daboub told a news conference in the Honduran capital that the bank would restore a planned loan of $270 million and add $120 million in new credit, for a total of $390 million, following the inauguration of a new elected president in the country.

Aid agencies and donor nations agreed to an international aid freeze that amounted to $450 million after the June 28 coup that ousted Zelaya. Last month, the United States promised to restart aid, as other nations have begun to normalize relations with the impoverished Central American country.

"For the World Bank, it is important to say that we are here to continue supporting the Honduran people ... especially the most vulnerable in society," said Daboub.

Honduras received about $1 billion a year in foreign loans, humanitarian aid and subsidized Venezuelan fuel before the coup, representing around 20 percent of its national budget.

Haitian Fundraiser!

If you were not at the Concert Under the Stars Fundraiser for Haiti Thursday night, February 4th, you really missed an incredible evening of entertainment. It was the kind of cultural event so many desire. The music was excellent. Joel Escalona, Latin Fusion and solo guitarist could play anywhere and people would enjoy him. Bobbie Rieman and the TUNU Band were incredible. Bobby, we could not have done this event without you. Thanks so much for all the equipment you supplied.

Brion James and his West End Band were world-class. A tough act to follow but The Peperoncino Band with Franco, Mauricio, Juan and Luca playing their own brand of Jazz Fusion and Latin Bossa were great.  The evening ended with The Walter and Jimmy James Band playing hot island music and Soca.

$1341 was raised, one dollar and Lempira at a time that night thanks to all that were in attendance. After much investigation, we found an organization Partners in Health to donate to. They are getting right to the people that need it the most in Haiti.   

Many thanks to Lorin. It was her idea to do something to help Haiti. You did a great job in putting this together in less than two weeks. Thanks to Manola and The MagaPlaza for hosting and helping put the event together. What a great place to have events that everyone could enjoy!

How lucky we are to have such talented musicians on the island now.
